Rightmove are looking for runners of all abilities to lace up and join record-breaking hero Kelly Holmes in at the MK Marathon Weekend, inviting them to join their community movement, On the Move.
Over the past two years, the On the Move initiative has raised over £138,000 for local and national charities, and this year the team focus their efforts in supporting bereaved children in Milton Keynes, alongside much loved MK charity Harry’s Rainbow, who offer vital support services to children who have suffered the loss of a loved one.
Among many support services offered, the charity provides families much needed time together in their Rainbow Retreat Holiday home in Chamber Sands, monthly Rainbow sessions where children who have experienced similar loss can come together.
They also offer many day trips for families and children, with Christmas being a particularly important time to support and remember loved ones.
Odette Mould, founder of Harry’s Rainbow, said “Being chosen by Rightmove is an incredible opportunity for Harry’s Rainbow. Not only to partner with a national organization to raise the vital funds we need to support bereaved children, but also to raise awareness of child bereavement, which is a our core aim of ours. I am delighted to be joining the On the Move team and urge anyone to join me; the VIP package and meeting Kelly Holmes will be the cherry on the bakewell !! ”

“We are absolutely thrilled to be supporting such a wonderful cause. This is a charity that touches so many lives, and we see the massive difference their support makes to families going through really, really difficult times,” says Jason Charles, Event Manager at Rightmove, at their head office in Caldecotte, Milton Keynes, “and to get a national legend like Kelly Holmes joining our team is something that’s gotten all of us buzzing.”
Dame Kelly Holmes, will be wearing the team shirt and leading the team on Race day, and Rightmove invites anyone interested to join their On the Move team, and run together with the Olympic champion.
Holmes will also be hosting an exclusive event in February, offering runners who sign up to the team the chance to draw directly from her experiences as a multi-gold-medalist.
Kelly said: “I’m really excited to be a supporter of Rightmove’s ‘On the Move’ team, offering my support to their growing movement of runners and fundraisers who will be running in the Rightmove MK Marathon on May 3rd, 2020.”
The MK Marathon takes place in Milton Keynes on 3 May 2020, and runners can take part in either the half marathon or the full 26.2-mile marathon. There are a number of packages for runners to choose from and a whole list of rewards for doing so.
